Jhanak update Tuesday 13 May 2025

The episode begins with Jhanak expressing her long-held wish for a loving and caring father. She confesses that she’s grown tired of waiting, and her hopes have been shattered over time. But today, she finds herself face-to-face with her father, fulfilling the dream she thought was impossible. While overwhelmed with happiness, she also feels fear — that this newfound joy could be taken away from her. She pleads with Brij to stay with her, promising to remain by his side, as she has always longed for him. Brij promises to stay with her, moved by her words.

Meanwhile, Shrishti arrives at Kul’s place, confronting him with frustration. She tells him that she can no longer respect him. Kul, however, retorts that he doesn’t even live there anymore. They argue, and he accuses her of abandoning her daughter, suggesting that she too will eventually face consequences for her actions.

Kul defends himself, explaining that when Brij went missing, he used his name to keep the public’s emotional connection alive, despite his own involvement in the situation. Arshi suggests that Nutan, who looks like Jhanak, might be able to help. Kul expresses his reluctance to pursue her. Arshi tries to reassure him, suggesting that if Jhanak were alive, she would have wanted him and Nutan to marry. Kul, however, remains skeptical, asking her if she truly loves him. Arshi admits her feelings, urging him not to leave her, suggesting that having a child could restore their happiness. Kul asks for more time, and she proposes they attend a party after her performance.

In their conversation, Kul criticizes Brij’s lack of talent, fearing that acknowledging him would mean losing his place and possibly facing jail for his past actions. Shrishti counters, questioning if Kul’s crime is any less severe, considering his neglect of his own daughter, Jhanak. She warns him that he should prepare to save himself.

Shrishti then pressures Kul to help her stop Brij from returning. She suggests the only solution is to kill him, but Kul cautions that Jhanak’s return complicates matters, as Nutan and Jhanak are the same person. Shrishti refuses to back down, stating that her husband has wealth and respect, and she is determined to maintain her status by showing love for him during their 25th anniversary party.

Kul challenges her, saying she never truly loved Brij, as evidenced by her marriage to Vinayak. He accuses her of using Brij for status and leaving him when it suited her. Shrishti, however, insists that she needs him and proposes they work together to deal with Brij first.

Later at the event, Anirudh spots Jhanak and recalls their past moments. As he approaches her, Lal and Bipasha join them. Shrishti plans to have Kul publicly accept Brij as his brother on stage. Kul is reluctant, but Shrishti assures him that if he tells the truth, she will support him.

As the event progresses, Shrishti introduces Arshi as one of the participants, but refuses to judge her performance, hinting at the underlying tension. Lal and Bipasha discuss Arshi’s chances of winning, with Anirudh confidently supporting her. Meanwhile, Brij is honored on stage by the hosts. Brij’s lawyer arrives and reassures him, and they enjoy the show together.

As the performance begins, Vinayak notes that Arshi often loses focus. Tanuja comments on the changing dynamics between Anirudh and Arshi, while Vinayak resolves to uncover the truth behind Jhanak’s death without compromising his relationship with Shrishti. The hosts announce Nutan’s arrival, but instead, Jhanak appears, greeting everyone. Anirudh, seeing her, experiences a strange feeling. Jhanak looks at him, and the episode ends on this tense note.
